The Jesse Eisenberg Memorial Fund
We are deeply saddened to learn of the death this past weekend of one of our Big Brothers, Jesse Eisenberg. For nearly two years, Jesse was an incredible Big to his Little Brother, George. Jesse was a constant in George's life, someone George looked up to and someone he had fun with. Jesse and George enjoyed hanging out so much that they recently converted from our School-based program to our Community-based program so that they could spend more time together.
